passes through 2 1 and 6 7 Solution Dear Student Thank you f

passes through (-2, 1) and (-6, -7)

Solution

Dear Student Thank you for using Chegg !! Given 2 Coordinates A = (-2,1) B = (-6,-7) x1= -2 y1= 1 x2= -6 y2= 7 Now general equation of a line passing through points x1,y1 and x2,y2 is given by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (y-y1)/(x-x1) -1.5 = (y-1)/(x+2) -1.5x - 3 = y - 1 y = -1.5x -2 Solution Hence slope of line (m) is -1.5 and y intercept b is -2 (Comparing with slope intercept form of line y = mx + b) Soution
